Mandor is a family initiative for enviromental protection located 4Km from Machu Picchu village (Aguas Calientes). This property offer well maintained trails where you can walk into biodiverse gardens enjoying, learning and at the same time contributing to the restoration and preservation of the habitat of hundreds of species of flora and fauna. The waterfall at the end of the trail is really powerful and refreshing. Mandor Valley is the best place for outdoor activities and the birdwatching hotspot near Machu Picchu. The property also offers cabins and campsite where you can stay and enjoy the most of this quiet location.
This is an interesting walk to get to from town, following the train line. The actual site is beautiful with a wide range of plants and birds/butterflies all around. The waterfalls are well worth the hike to see.

Highly recommend this conservatory. This donation only facility is trying to reintroduce butterflies that have been depleted mostly due to pollution and is in beautiful setting along the serene river. The amenities include interpretation, a small snack and gift shop and bathrooms. You can grab a snack among the birds, butterflies, mountains and river.

The Tambopata Butterfly Farm (Mariposario Tambopata) is the first and biggest butterfly exhibition in Peru. Located only 2 min from Puerto Maldonado International Airport. In the Tambopata Butterfly Farm you will stroll around hundreds of amazing amazonian butterflies. The Tambopata Butterfly Farm is a great place to wait for your flight.
By far the best "butterfly house"! ALL native butterflies, no imports. Owner, Augusto, was very knowledgeable. We are amateur lepidopterists, and as such are much more interested in local species, so this was a wonderful find. We spent about 3 hours there, which is more than the usual visitor would spend. Native plants and local butterflies make this a very unique butterfly house. For anyone who wants to see local species in their native habitat, without tromping through the jungle, this is definitely a must stop! It's only a few minutes from the airport, and has a very nice cafe, with a small gift shop offering locally made items.
